Richard, now that I think about the $250/acre has probably doubled since the Bakken came into to play.
Unless you get a neighbor deal it's hard to buy land if you are trying to make it pay through cows or wheat.
Outside money(oil or whatever) is impossible to beat.
I think it's 3-5 acres per month for a cow around here?
(6-12 month grazing season depending....)
Again I'm not sure but some of the hardpan BLM country might be 6-10 acres a month?
